Great Location.But Little Daylight & Poor Bathroom

Excellent location. Reception and atrium area when entering had the wow factor and was very light, airy and spacious. Helpful and professional reception staff. We booked a superior king room. The room was very clean and had a Nespresso machine with complimentary capsules which was a nice touch. Bottled water was also provided.The bed was comfortable. However, it was also very dark, with limited daylight as it overlooked the atrium. We consider that it should be pointed out on booking engines when a booked room is internal. The wifi was stable and reliable. A hardback book on Brighton was provided in the room which was useful. That said, a complimentary local map which you could take out and about with you would have been helpful. There were no USB charger ports; Premier Inn and other budget hotels provide these and you would expect these in a hotel of this standard. The bathroom was poor. Unlike most hotels of a similar standard, hair conditioner was not provided, there was no hand shower with flexible hose and it came with a 1970s style shower curtain. Again, for a hotel like this you would expect a glass screen. The wash basin had several cracks (room 259) and had we fully closed the bathroom door we would have woken up the whole corridor. The swimming pool with steam room and sauna were excellent, with towels and lockers provided and friendly helpful staff.

Good for a short stay

Nice, comfortable room. Bed comfy. Many of the carpets & the upholstery in the hotel need a really good clean. Staff friendly & efficient. Pool nice, but very busy on the Sunday morning. Children doing bombs with parents not caring made actually swimming tricky.
